Notes
• When naming an MP3 file/WMA file, be sure to add
the file extension ".mp3"/".wma" to the file name.
• During playback of a VBR (variable bit rate) MP3/
WMA file or fast-forward/reverse, elapsed playing
time may not display accurately.
• When the disc is recorded in Multi Session, only the
first track of the first session format is recognized
and played (any other format is skipped). The
priority of the format is CD-DA and MP3/WMA.
– When the first track is a CD-DA, only CD-DA of the
first session is played.
– When the first track is not a CD-DA, an MP3/WMA
session is played. If the disc has no data in any of
these formats, "NO MUSIC" is displayed.
Notes on MP3
• Be sure to finalize the disc before using on the unit.
• If you play a high-bit-rate MP3, such as 320 kbps,
sound may be intermittent.
Notes on WMA

playable.
